The high quality galvanized steel helix anchor is used with vertical axis trellising systems at the start and end of rows. The anchor is designed to be screwed into soft, rockless ground. These helix anchors cannot be used on sandy soil or similar types of ground.

Manual installation

Once the anchor is screwed into the ground, it must be fastened in two spots on the end-of-line post with a steel wire to get a "V" angle. With the Gripple anchor starter set, you pass the wire through the anchor's loop, thus having the second fastening point for adjusting the trellising system's tension. If screwing the anchor into the ground is too hard, dig a hole about half the length of the anchor, and then screw the anchor into the ground with a rod.

Installation with auger

Can be installed with an auger equipped with an adapter to fasten the anchor to the auger.

General appreciation

I could put them all the way down in the ground even through some rocks. Used 10ft steel pipe as a lever. (Posted on 18-05-10)

The product was used or abused Review by Val

General appreciation

When I opened the package I discovered the anchors were rusty. I had to remove the rust and repaint them. (Posted on 16-03-12)
